In July 1942, he made contact with friends in Antwerp, Belgium, in an effort to obtain a visa for Brazil for his friend Barend Waterman. He did not manage to get the visa but he did become acquainted with Hubert Peeters, a man who worked in Holland and lived in Hamont, Belgium, close to the Dutch border. Jasper and Hubert together found a place where it was possible to cross the border into Belgium unhindered and this became a place which Joop Westerweel*, Shushu Shimon, and Menachem Pinkhof frequently used as an escape route for young Jews being smuggled into France or Switzerland. Before these clandestine border crossings took place, the fleeing Jews would spend one night with Jasper and his wife, Wip, in Eindhoven. On November 26, 1990, Yad Vashem recognized Jasper Daams as Righteous Among the Nations.
